Hi, I have lymphoma which I have been undergoing chemotherapy for. Nearly at the end of this process and hopefully will be clear later this year. Unfortunately the cancer was in my spine and compressed my spinal cord resulting in paralysis from my ribs downwards. Fortunately surgery was performed early enough that I have recovered most nerve functions. I can now walk unaided for short distances. However, I do still have numbness in my lower legs and feet and a band of pressure around my abdomen. Has anyone else gone through this scenario and should I expect the numbness and pressure band to disappear in time? I am now 6 month post surgery to remove the pressure on my spinal cord...many thanks.
